unlabelledView post →So, the great Bryan Young, author of 834 BattleTech novels, aka @swankmotron.com, sent me some cool stuff to start with learning the game. I am told a bunch of new stuff is coming from @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social in a couple weeks and that's a good thing because I am obsessed with lil robots!

unlabelledView post →As part of looking into something I've stumbled on to a forum thread from 2011 that is driving me slightly mad. Battletech fans getting upset because Slocombe's Warbots from Citadel were aping Battletech designs in 1987. Battletech. A game that has never stolen any designs ever, honest.

unlabelledView post →It's fun how tabletop Battletech fans versus video game Battletech fans both see the setting as revolving around the political dramas of a specific group of people (plus a bunch of pricks who don't matter Way Over There), and they're both talking about the same two groups from opposite directions.
unlabelledView post →Anybody ever heard of this Japanese game called “Battletech?” It had mechanical designs by Shoji Kawamori and character designs by Kenichi Sonoda… looked cool.

The Clans didn't need to go looking for trouble, the Sphereoids came a knockin'. In the end, the Clans won, by a single point, but it was CLOSE @battletech.bsky.social

People paid $6/hour for dialup access to GEnie and CompuServe. People played BattleTech as an 8-player online game at that price. Minimum wage was $4.25/hour then.

That was me. I was a friend of a friend to an artist on on the dev team. They put it in as a birthday gift for me. :)
